Transparent silicon carbide/tunnel SiO₂ passivation for c-Si solar cell front side: Enabling J_sc > 42 mA/cm² and iV_oc of 742 mV

N-type microcrystalline silicon carbide (μc-SiC:H(n)) is a wide bandgap material that is very promising for the use on the front side of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells. It offers a high optical transparency and a suitable refractive index that reduces parasitic absorption and reflection losses, respectively. In this work, we...

Optimized ChIP-seq method facilitates transcription factor profiling in human tumors

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-seq analyses of transcription factors in clinical specimens are challenging due to the technical limitations and low quantities of starting material, often resulting in low enrichments and poor signal-to-noise ratio. Here, we present an optimized protocol for transcription factor ChIP-seq analyses in human...
